ORANGE PUDDING

As mentioned before, I am a huge Ina Paarman fan, everything just works.  Apologies to those who can’t get her products but I am sure that alternatives can be found. This is an economical recipe because you can make 3 of these delicious puddings from just one pack of Vanilla Cake Mix.

1 cup (250 ml) full cream milk
1 orange, zested
zest of ½ a lemon
3 T (45 ml) butter
1½ cups (375 ml) fresh orange juice
2 eggs, separated
1 cup (250 ml) Ina Paarman’s Vanilla Cake
¼ cup (60 ml) sugar

Serves 6

Adjust the oven shelf to the middle position. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Butter a 30 cm x 24 cm ovenproof dish. Warm the milk to just below boiling and remove from heat. Add the orange and lemon zest and butter.  Leave the butter to melt and the flavour of the zest to develop in the milk for about 10 minutes. Add orange juice.

Separate the eggs, the whites go into a spotlessly clean glass mixing bowl, the yolks get beaten into the orange juice and milk mixture. Slowly beat in the Vanilla Cake Mix and sugar.

Wash the beaters to remove all traces of yolk/butter before beating the egg whites to soft peak stage. Carefully fold into the cake mixture.

Pour into prepared dish. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.

This pudding is delicious on its own, there is no need for anything extra.
